A Good showing,

As announced last week, Rev. J. n.
Walker, pastor of the Congregational
Church, preached his first anniversary
sermon last Sunday, and reviewed the
work of the past year. He gave the
following statistics: An addition OF
eight members, six by profession and
two by letter. Two taken away by
death. The Sunday School had in
creased in membership, also the con.
gregations at the regular services
Some handsome and timely gifts had
been presented to the Church, CHIEF
among which were new pulpit suite
and q new silver communion service
Many improvements had been made
including the putting in of a new I ur
mace, sheathing the gallery in, and in
various other ways the church had
been beautified and adorned. Exclu
sive of the money contributed fol
these purposes, the sum of $t2 was
raised for Foreign and Domestic Mis-.
Sions. This is indeed a creditable
showing, and could only be accom-
plished by both pastor and people
being united and working hand il
hand. We rejoice with them in theil
prosperity, and hope it may long con

Apropos OF our item of last week rel.
ative to the high price of board at
Lancaster, the Gazette makes the fol-
lowing explanation
1t makes all the difference in the
world which hotel man stops, about
the price of the board. For instance
if the two men had gone to the Ian
caster House, or Williams House,
their bill would not have exceeded
five dollars, but it appears that they
were bound to go to the Hotel Ingerson
and actually insisted on employing
two or three OF our public, but high
priced, citizens to conduct them to
that hostelry, and then, the next
morning they were SO much more
impressed with their Importance that
they had to leave it out to disinter-
ested man to say what they should
pay for their nights accommodation.
Luxuries come high, but if people are
bound to have them, why Lancaster
can, on pinch, provide all anybody
can pay for.

Horrible DisRster.

The greatest railroad calamity that
this part of the country has ever suf-
fered caused the death of thirty or
forty passengers on the Boston Mont.
real express at 2 o'clock Saturday
morning at point on the Central
Vermont Road about four miles north
of White River Junction. A broken
axle threw the last four cars of the
train from the track and plunged
them down from bridge. so feet to
the White River below. The wreck
at once took fire, and many OF the
imprisoned passengers suffered death
in its most awful FORM in the flames
that soon reached them. OF 100 pas
sengers in the destroyed cars less than
half a score escaped unscathed; the
injuries of about twenty are not very
serious; the condition of dozen is
alarming, and the death roll if it is
ever accurately made up, will contain
more than thirty names, and it is
feared that it will be i'm possible to
identify many of the victims, who
were in some cases completely crema-
ted. One Of the victims, Mr.. NJ. Bur
CESS, will be remembered as being a
Pullman car conductor, and stopping
over here each Sunday during the
winter of 1856. A detailed report
may be found on our first page.
